No civilians left on Kinburn Spit, only invaders

There are no longer any civilians on the Kinburn Spit, which is still under the control of the Russian occupiers.

Source: "Radio Svoboda", quoting Head of Mykolaiv Oblast Military Administration, Vitalii Kim.

Quote: "There are zero civilians left there. About a little less than a week ago, the Russians forcibly evicted them and took them in the direction of Crimea. I do not know [where they were taken – ed.] after Crimea.

There were only 37 people left. These are small villages, they basically lived there off of tourists, and 100-200 people lived there in peacetime winters. So now there are only enemy soldiers there."

Details: Kim also believes that the Russian military, that are located on the spit, do not directly threaten Mykolaiv, and their main goal is to hold as many territories as possible.

Background: On 29 November, the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced that they have not yet gained control over the Kinburn Spit in Mykolaiv Oblast, the Russian troops are currently regrouping there.
